Aug 21-22, Hubby and I enjoyed a little getaway to Delaware, the main reason was birdwatching of course. What else? I read on facebook that there were some Black-bellied Whistling Ducks hanging out on a little neighborhood pond in Clayton Delaware which is only minutes from my favorite Bombay Hook wildlife refuge. I have loved these cute ducks ever since Tex Girl and her blog Run*A*Ranch introduced them on her blog. I think my first sighting of these cute ducks was in Florida.
Click on images for larger views.
1. The Black-bellied Whistling Ducks seemed to have made this pond their home for the summer. They even had some ducklings, you can see in the top right image in the mosaic below.
2. A good sized group of Black-bellied Whistling ducks with some Canada Geese and a few Mallards.
3. The ducklings are growing fast but the adult Black-bellied Whistling duck is staying close by.
4. Other birds in the little pond were the Canada Geese, Mallards and a Great Blue Heron.
5. I believe these two ducks below are the American Black Ducks.
6. Another shot of my favorite Whistling Ducks with the Mallard and Canada Geese.
7. This Black-bellied Whistling Duck seems to be albe to sleep standing up.
8. Another cute Black-bellied Whistling Duck.
9. Another shot of the Black-bellied Whistling ducklings.

A sad message and remembrance, I know a few bloggers remember Ken and his blog, he lived in Florida for awhile and posted about his walks there and on the birds that visited his back yard. He eventually moved to Connecticut to live with his daughter since he was so sick. Prayers and condolences to his family, Ken will be missed. Thanks to Diane of Lavender dreams blog for letting me know about Ken passing.

1. These images are from Sept 1st, I saw around 4-5 Baltimore Orioles enjoying the Devil's Walking stick berries. The Peacock was sitting on the deck rail and the Pileated Woodpecker was on a tree outside the bedroom window.
The male Baltimore Oriole, a few males and one female. The Baltimore Oriole is Maryland's state bird. I was happy to see these birds in my yard eating the berries.
2. Sept 3rd, we stopped at the Susquehanna River State Park picnic area, at the pond area we saw a few slider turtles with a Green Heron.
3. A closer look at one of the turtles and the Green Heron.
4. Great Blue Heron at the Susquehanna River.,
5. Double-crested Cormorant sitting on a rock in the Susquehanna River.
6. Looking outside my dining room window, I saw the silhouette of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird enjoying the fuchsia flowers.
7. Sept 4th, below are the Cape May Warblers. The second photo is the more colorful male Cape May Warbler.
Male Cape May Warbler, almost hidden by all the Devil's Walking Stick berries.
8. Backyard bunny!
9. Sept 4th NCR bike trail, I believe this is a family of Eastern Phoebes.
10. Sept 6th , backyard birds are the Ruby-throated Hummingbird and Robins. The American Robins were enjoying the berries on the Devil's Walking Stick tree/bush.
Later the same day we took our walk on the NCR trail, I noticed some American Goldfinches eating seeds off a plant nearby and the Belted Kingfisher was perched on a branch over the water.
